Chapter 61 Although this is a warrior essay, everyone wants to be a mage
For the residents of Moldavia, the year of Star Falling 832 was considered a year of ups and downs. The cold winter at the beginning of the year seemed extra long due to the aftermath of the dark tide. If the Lord's Mansion had not exempted taxes and even provided assistance to hunters and villagers living in the mountains, perhaps many people would have faced the empty forest and spent a dark and hungry winter.
However, the series of reforms that the new lord came to power made everyone feel that he was different. The young lord named Joshua van Radcliff not only carried out large-scale paving and infrastructure in various parts of the territory, but also brought in a batch of investment from somewhere and carried out two major projects near the Nissie Snow Mountain.
Sometimes, spending money on infrastructure is not purely consumption. The more employment and consumption brought by large-scale construction has a great effect on the economy of the territory. In addition, the lord seems to pay great attention to education, opened many basic schools, and invited many knowledgeable scholars to be teachers. In this way, most of the children stayed in school for a day, and some of the labor forces that were bound at home because of their children were also liberated.
The main city of Moldavia, the Broken Sword Tavern.
This fairly famous tavern is owned by an elderly half-elf ranger. He lost one hand in his adventure forty years ago, so he simply withdrew from the dangerous industry and opened the tavern with a generous reward. The ranger once had the strength of a high-level silver. Although the broken hand caused him to lose some of his combat power, his superb flying knife throwing technology still made many villains dare not act rashly. Perhaps because of the common topic, many adventurers or mercenaries are frequent visitors of this tavern, and the half-elf's bartending technology can also satisfy them.
Today is the year of Star Fall 833. On February 14th, another blizzard was storm. The heavy snow blocked the road to the outside world. Many bounty hunters and adventurers who were preparing to go to the Black Forest to find mission goals could only regretfully adjust their itinerary, go to familiar places to drink and chat, and pass the time.
So at this time, there were many people in the Broken Sword Tavern, and the noise was filled with people under the dim pyroxene lights.
But it is strange that these people are talking about the same thing.
"My friend, are you sure that's right?"
A middle-aged man with a bearded man sat by the window holding a wine glass as high as half an arm, and said to his companion in front of him with a serious face: "Who is going to open a magic academy? Are you sure that the news from the municipal government said so?"
"That's of course, don't look at me with that kind of suspicious look."
The young half-elf, wearing leather armor, sat opposite him, answered the other party's question without hesitation, and snatched the wine glass from the middle-aged man's hand and drank it himself. He shook his head and said, "This news really cannot be more true. There is also the lord's emblem on the announcement. You don't know my memory yet? Absolutely right!"
As if shocked by the news, the middle-aged man touched his beard and didn't have time to get angry at his companion who stole his wine. He frowned and thought, "It's not right. In our northern part, there are a lot of powerful knights, warriors, and archers. You can find seven or eight by just looking for it. Moreover, most of the people's bloodline inheritance and talent are in this regard, so it's convenient to find teachers. Why did you come to a magic academy?"
"God knows."
After drinking the wine in the wine glass in one breath, the half-elf looked indifferent: "Anyway, I plan to let my child try their admission test. If I have talent, it doesn't matter if I don't become a archer with me. Anyway, that brat is unwilling to practice... After all, my ancestors have the blood of elf, and maybe they can really produce a master of wizards."
"Your boy?" Hearing this sentence, the middle-aged man said strangely: "Aren't magic all the people who are rich? Why did you have this idea? I advise you not to throw away all your savings..."
"Hahaha, no." After interrupting the other party, the half-elf laughed and said, "I asked the guards who sent the message. They said that as long as they were residents of Moldavia, they could take their ID to take a free test. And I heard that the tuition fee is not expensive, at least it is worth a fight!"
"Is that true, that's it..."
The middle-aged man fell into deep thought. The test was not expensive and the tuition was not expensive. If the conditions were so superior... then he also wanted his children to give it a try.
After all, that's a master, who doesn't want to try the mysterious magic? They have already tried all the hardships of ordinary professionals. Even if they are a mage, they will endure hardships, at least they have never tasted it.
Not only them, but others around them were also discussing the authenticity of the news, and as time went by, everyone in the city knew about it.
And in the north of the city, there are scholars' homes and study rooms.
The little boy Ivan and his sister Amira are carefully learning a series of knowledge about professionals under the guidance of their grandfather.
As young children, what they need now is not high-intensity exercise, but to know what they are good at and what they want to do in the future. Before they really start working hard, they must understand the pros and cons of each profession and make their own choices.
Although Edward is just an ordinary scholar, he also knows one or two magic. He has participated in several adventures and clearly knows that if he wants to go further on the road of the strong, the foundation must be firm and solid. This firmness is not only physical condition, but also spiritual thoroughness.
Know what you want, what your future goals are, and also understand what you are good at. With such self-knowledge, even if you are not talented, at least you won’t waste time and go on the wrong path.
"master!"
Accompanied by the heavy footsteps, the tall and strong maid came outside the study and began to knock on the door anxiously. Her hands were so strong that she felt like she was going to break the door. The children who were studying hard and Edward were also shocked.
"Here you come... Naka, click the door next time."
Although he was a little annoyed that the other party interrupted Ivan and Amira's study, the old man also knew that his maid had never lost her composure after being with him for so many years. Since he had reacted so much, there must be important news.
And just after he opened the door, the maid named Naka pulled the old man out with a happy look on her face: "Master, look at it, good news!"
"Oh, my old bone, what makes you so excited...wait?!"
Touching his waist, Edward took the notice from Naka's hand and frowned. He complained a little at first, but he didn't have time to think about anything else later. Instead, he focused on reading the notice: "The School of Magic? It is not ruled out that it will be expanded into a multi-professional professional academy? The locals in Moldavia are exempt from the test fees, and there are discounts on tuition fees? This..."
"A generous and kind Lord..."
Taking a deep breath to calm down, Edward closed his eyes and calmed down for a moment. He silently recited some fragments of words to suppress his excitement.
Magician.
Although magicians of the same level may not have an advantage over other professions at the same level in real battles, this is a profession that is not about combat, but about research and preparation.
As a real treasure resource, a magician's status is obviously higher than other professions except Paladin Priests. Moreover, no profession can easily defeat them when prepared. The most important thing is that except for war mages, other mages rarely directly participate in battles. Their value as logistics or auxiliary is greater than that of a turret, and their safety is very guaranteed.
Even if the dream of two little guys is to slay the dragon, as long as a mage wants to slay the dragon, his success rate will definitely be higher than that of other professions. If their parents knew the news, they would definitely agree with this.
So, after a moment, Edward returned to the study. He glanced at Ivan and Amira with a puzzled look on his face, and then said to the two children with a smile:
"Do you guys plan to be magicians?"
